    I’ll die on the hill that Jeff Foxworthy is funny as fuck. Ron White isn’t really bad albeit he’s just a really good storyteller, Larry the Cable Guy was always way too much gimmick for my taste but he was mostly fart jokes or the equivalent, Bill Engvall is the most fortunate man in the history of comedy because his ceiling would be traveling youth pastor had he not hitched his wagon to the others

    Edit: and while it was clear they were conservative, they were never racist as far as I remember, although reflecting they were probably at least a tad sexist and homophobic, and I’m not gonna apologize for them if my memory is wrong

    Edit 2: fuck I forgot about 9/11, Larry the cable guy for sure used the fuck out of that, retract the not racist bit, it was par for the course at the time but that’s no excuse

        I agree, Foxworthy graduated from Georgia Tech he’s not a dumb hick and he may have some fucked up opinions that he’s just not stupid enough to say but his bits are super clever. And I don’t doubt that about Ron White, he’s what happens when clever and charismatic meet and don’t decide to become a cult leader
